Pacific Rim
Ouch! I once had a fissure on my Pacific Rim.
Oops, my mistake. This sci-fi movie is about a fissure in the ocean floor, not one's anus.
Under attack from colossal sea-creatures, the military constructs Jaegars, large-scale automatons controlled by pilots, Raleigh (Charlie Hunnam) and Yancy (Diego Klattenhoff), to fight back.
But overtime their armour becomes obsolete and other avenues are pursued.
With months left in operation, Commander Stacker (Idris Elba) initiates a final mission to detonate a warhead in the monster's portico.
Recruiting Raleigh and pairing him with an orphan (Rinko Kikuchi), Stacker has one last chance to destroy the ever-adapting enemy.
Guillermo del Toro's ode to Godzilla and Gundam, Pacific Rim's best moments are its bombastic battles, while its worst are when the leads are outside their suits.
Furthermore, if giant monsters are anything like us, can you imagine the kinky things they'd do with a life-sized robot?
